This week marks World Refugee Da<\/strong>y, which has been celebrated every year on June 20 since 2001. According to UNHCR (Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees), the date is an opportunity to honor the courage, resilience and strength of all women, men and children forced to leave their homes because of wars, armed<\/strong>
\nconflicts and persecution.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In March this year, Conare (National Committee for Refugees), which reports to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, recognized the refugee status of 17,000 Venezuelans<\/strong>. An earlier assessment, carried out in December 2019, granted the same recognition to nearly 21,000 citizens of the same country.<\/p>\n

Granting this status to whole groups is significant considering that until the end of last year, Brazil recognized just over 11,000 refugees<\/strong> in total, including all different origins and ethnicities.<\/p>\n

However, the list of people fleeing humanitarian crises in their countries and awaiting shelter in Brazil is still long<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To discuss this topic, Conectas invited Jean Katumba, president of \u00c1frica do Cora\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong>, to talk to Camila Asano, program director at Conectas.<\/p>\n

Currently, he is president and founder of \u201c\u00c1frica do Cora\u00e7\u00e3o\u201d, an organization that fights for the protagonism of migrants, by defending migration and promoting migrant leadership.<\/p>\n
